MoP®– Portfolio Management

The MoP guidance provides a set of principles, techniques and practices to help organizations ensure that the programmes and projects they invest in contribute to strategic objectives and achieve the best possible return on investment.

What is MoP®?

MoP® (Management of Portfolios) offers guidance on management of change projects and programmes. It provides an overview of portfolio management, including the principles, techniques and practices alongside an organisation’s ‘business as usual' work.

MoP® Certifications

The MoP qualification comprises two different levels of certification:

MoP® Foundation

The MoP Foundation Certification is suitable for individuals who want to demonstrate that they have sufficient knowledge and understanding of the MoP guidance and can work effectively as a member of a portfolio office or in various portfolio management positions.

The MoP Foundation Certificate is also a pre-requisite for individuals wishing to achieve the MoP Practitioner Qualification.

MoP® Practitioner

The MoP Practitioner Certification is suitable for individuals who want to demonstrate they have achieved sufficient knowledge and understanding of the MoP guidance and are able to tailor and apply it in a scenario situation.

To take the exam, you need to have passed the MoP Foundation exam, even on the same day.

If you successfully sit the Foundation exam only, you will receive a "Foundation Examination" certificate. If you pass both exams on the same day, you will receive the "Practitioner Examination" certificate only, and not a "Foundation Examination" one.

MoP® Training

The MoP qualifications can be obtained either through sitting the exam at the end of an accredited training course or by studying privately and then booking the exam independently.
